As noted previously, in prior years I never bothered to record my short errand rides (even up to 8-miles in length) in my Excel log, let alone blog those rides. However, most of my cycling of late has been short, ~ 3.2-mile round trips to a friend's to help with chores or "chores" or deal with some health insurance claims paperwork; therefore, although perhaps not totally thought out, I decided to start recording and blogging those short rides. [I could have, perhaps should have, recorded the same rides that I did the first week of January, when I sometimes did multiple round-trips on the same day, but I hadn't thought of recording or blogging them at that time.]
Feb-25
- -> friend's -> (exchange some papers re: Duke Hosp stuff)
- ~ 4pm +, 1.62-m each way, 8m28s going, 8m,04s returning
- standing all the way
- 3.2-miles total, almost all on sidewalks. ~ 16-minutes. 11.6-mph.
Feb-26
- -> friend's -> (exchange papers re: Duke + get cooler from shed)
- ~ 9am +, 1.62-m each way, 8m40s going, 8m,12s returning
- standing all the way
- 3.2-miles total, almost all on sidewalks. ~ 16-minutes. 11.4-mph.
Feb-28
- -> friend's -> (put box-fan in crawl-space)
- ~ 2pm, 1.62-m each way, 8m18s going, 8m,12s returning
- standing all the way
- 3.2-miles total, almost all on sidewalks. ~ 16-minutes. 11.6-mph.
If I would blog these as they happen, I would have a few words regarding conditions and sometimes cars blocking the sidewalk in one or more places; but although those words would make these blog posts more interesting, those words aren't all that important. What I hope is important is that although these rides are very short, they may be helping to keep me in some kind of cycling shape that I can use as a base to train-up for the April 200 brevet, and the May 300 brevet.
